Working as a barista. I take my coffee black.
A complete novice in tea.
The world of tea is literally a rabbit-hole.
My boss wanted to put some nice teas on the menu for customers who look for alternatives to coffee, and he asked me to source teas for his coffee shop.
There, I jumped through the rabbit-hole.
I am not sure if I should thank or curse my boss.
I only recently starting to appreciate English black tea.
Particularly enjoy Earl Grey tea, both plain black and with milk.

Maybe lower temp and shorter time will tame some of the bite? Darjeelings can be pretty harsh.
I tried brewing at 90-92’c steeping for 2 minutes only, still not helping much.
I plan to blend this with another mediocre tea, see how that will turn out.
